Crannag

Near Tongue, Sutherland

Crannag is a detached house in an impressive elevated situation looking out over the waters of the Kyle of Tongue, just a mile and a half from Tongue in the northern Highlands.

The house has been refurbished to a very high standard throughout, with a Highland theme running all the way through. The cosy sitting room has a statement wood-burning stove at its heart set in a stylish fireplace that houses a fine selection of complimentary whisky. Its comfortable seating is positioned perfectly to take advantage of the large picture windows that showcase the amazing views, making the ideal place to curl up and enjoy the ever-changing seascape.

The contemporary kitchen is very well-equipped with smart built-in appliances and a charming dining area alongside. It is supplemented by a handy utility room that houses the laundry facilities.

The double bedroom is dressed in soothing tones and has a modern en suite shower room with a luxurious walk-in shower that is cleverly hidden away behind a sliding door. The light and bright twin bedroom also has an en suite shower room and even more sea views. The house also has the added bonus of a large, wooden walk-in sauna to relax in.

Outside, there is parking in the gravelled area by the house. Crannag is the sister property of Crann Tara and sits in 10 acres of rough grounds that tail off into the surrounding fields.

Guest Comments

'One of the best cottages we have stayed in. We had great days out at Durness - its beaches are a must. We were lucky to see a Minke whale and porpoises at Strathy Point.'

Morley party

'Absolutely beautiful cottage in a gorgeous spot – stunning views and so relaxing. We had fun exploring the beaches and Ben Loyal!'

Quinn party

'Lovely place and very much enjoyed the views that were ever changing! Some lovely walks including Ben Tongue up the hill behind at Talmine, Durness and many beach walks, Coldbackie is our favourite!'

Bratten party

'Beautifully and very generously decorated. We have been blessed with beautiful sunshine and enjoyed stunning walks with views of Ben Hope.'

Heap party

Being right by the coast there are lots of beautiful beaches nearby, in particular the picturesque sandy beach at Coldbackie Bay that is just half a mile away.

There is fishing available in some of the nearby lochs and there are bikes at the house which are available for guests' use, free of charge. The village of Tongue (1.5 miles) has a shop, PO, bank and petrol station, as well as two hotel restaurants that are ideal if you fancy a break from cooking. It is worth stocking up on supplies before you arrive, as the nearest supermarkets are at Thurso (42 miles) or Golspie (57 miles).

The North Coast 500 that has been labelled by some as ‘Scotland’s Route 66’ passes right by the house. This circular driving route is 516 miles long in total with some enthusiasts driving the entire route, while others choose to take in the amazing scenery on the shorter stretches nearby.

The very tip of Scotland John O' Groats (60 miles) is about an hour and a half’s drive away. It is known as the start/finish point for ‘End to End’ cycling and walking challenges and, of course, for its famous ‘Journeys End’ signpost.

A lovely walk leads from the village along the coast to Duncansby Head, where you can admire the huge sea stacks out in the waters and look out for the seabirds that shelter on the cliffs. There is also an RSPB reserve at Dunnet Head (54 miles) on the way to John O’ Groats that has many more seabirds, including puffins, razorbills, kittiwakes, shags, etc.

Please note: while we make every effort to be as accurate as possible, the actual position of the cottage indicated on the map above and the proximity of the amenities in the Local Info section cannot be guaranteed to be precise and should be used as a guide only.

The most relaxing holiday to kick back and escape from the outside world. Enjoyed some fabulous days out to Sandwood Bay, Durness, Ben Hope, Tongue as well as taking in drives and walks to fully immerse ourselves in the stunning backdrop of Sutherland.

A wonderful and cherished Christmas with my dear Mum who is terminally ill and wheelchair bound. A very precious experience. It was 99.99% perfect. A tiny bit (but not critical) feedback: We both have short legs! and so the deep seated chairs and settee were only comfortable by putting cushions behind us. We also thought the electric lighting in the kitchen could have been brighter! However this two tiny points were far outweighed by the owner's incredible complimentary Malt Whisky collection and the wonderful Christmas touches in the cottage!

Excellent cottage very well furnished with everything needed for a relaxing and restful stay. Felt at home the minute we arrived, wonderful views, loved the sauna a unique touch. Numerous walking opportunities in the local area taking in both hills and coastal routes. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent cottage very well furnished with everything needed for a relaxing and restful stay. Felt at home the minute we arrived, wonderful views, loved the sauna a unique touch. Numerous walking opportunities in the local area taking in both hills and coastal routes. Would definitely stay here again.

The cottage is very comfortable, in an ideal location and makes a great holiday base. It is well maintained and welcoming with the ‘snug’ adding to a lovely holiday experience allowing views of the night sky.

I was always kept up to date regarding my booking, receiving regular emails informing me of payment details, directions to cottage and what to expect there. If I had any queries they were answered quickly and professionally and always friendly.
